So, how good is this Sins game? More specifically, how good is it's SP?
It's good. The much-touted 4x elements leave alot to be desired, but it's a solid space RTS.
If you like the prospect of huge capital-fleet battles you won't be disappointed.
Pros:
- great graphics and sound (fleet battles are awesome)
- research based tech progression
- huge random map setups allowing LONG games, this is a good thing IMO, but if it's not your cup of tea, there are small, medium and large setups too.
- capital ships level-up to become more powerful
- excellent AI, the bastards are sneaky and WILL hit you hard if you leave yourself open
Cons:
- No campaign
- 4x diplomacy system sucks (IMO, it's better to just turn it off)
- no resource/tech trading (there is a black market to buy resources, but not techs)
- If you like to turtle, forget it. Static defenses are weak and limited.
- Race superweapons are "meh."
